Wind of change…

A strong wind of change
Is blowing my way
And it’s making my every step
Much harder to take
I have to take many deep breaths
Lots of small rests
Even turn my back to it at times
But it catches the space
Between my shoes and the ground
Lifting me gently in the direction
Which I actually need to go
And when I find myself
In a peaceful place
I take a moment to look around
And I am scared by this strange place
So I turn around and start running back…
Only to find the wind at the gates
Of my old space
As if it’s guarding my memories
And all the things I can’t go back
To re-live or erase
So I’m left with a choice
To fight the wind and postpone the change
Or start exploring this strange
Peaceful place….
If you were me, what would you do?
I won’t be able to bring everyone with me to this new place
And I’m not sure that some would even be ready to go there
Yet I long for a familiar face and a warm embrace…
I won’t rush to find my space
In this unfamiliar place
But I know that I will embrace this change
As I take one last look
At the wind who saved me
From the troubles of my old heart space.
